Again, it's all relative. Take any activity someone enjoys. Does it add value and significance to their life? If it does it has some level of importance to their life. Some people love running (not me lol). It's an obsession for some. For them it's a very important part of their life. And in many cases seemingly unimportant things can add value to one's life.
Bottom line is this. To assume what is unimportant to you must also be unimportant for everyone else is presumptuous. Important things in life don't have to be necessities. Aside from food and shelter everything else has literally some level of unimportance in life.
Another example. For some going to church every Sunday is an important part of their life. For me my religious experience is found on a golf course surrounded by nature. For me going to church would add no value to my life and to a non golfer spending 4 hours on a golf course would add no value to their life.
The only argument I have is you can't project your opinion of what is important or unimportant onto anyone else. What's deemed important is in the eye of the beholder.
